Real estate taxes are under appeal. Based on the County's current assessment, a substantial reduction may be possible. Elegant Stone Manor in Villanova’s Estate Area. Set on 1.23 landscaped acres in Villanova’s prestigious estate neighborhood, this exceptional stone manor—designed by Fred Bissinger—blends timeless architecture with modern luxury. Hand-laid fieldstone, refined detailing, and a slate and copper roof create a striking first impression, while inside, thoughtfully designed spaces offer both grandeur and comfort. A dramatic foyer introduces high ceilings, intricate millwork, and gracious proportions. The cherry-paneled study with fireplace and oversized windows provides an ideal home office. The formal dining room, served by a butler’s pantry, is perfect for entertaining. The living room features another fireplace and a wall of windows overlooking the grounds. The spacious family room, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, opens seamlessly to the chef’s kitchen—appointed with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, large center island and built-in Miele coffee & cappuccino maker. The sunlit breakfast room with vaulted ceiling and wraparound windows captures views of the gardens beyond. Additional first-floor amenities include a mudroom, laundry room, and access to the 3-car garage. Upstairs, a wide hall separates the primary suite from the secondary bedrooms. The primary suite includes dual walk-in closets, a spa-inspired bath with radiant floors, steam shower, soaking tub, and a vaulted-ceiling sitting room—a stunning retreat that may serve as a second office. Four additional bedrooms each feature custom en-suite baths and walk-in closets. A rear staircase leads to the secondary bedroom wing, perfect for guests or live-in support. A walk-up attic offers extensive storage. The lower level, bathed in natural light through a wall of windows and glass door, feels like an extension of the main living space. It includes a 3,000-bottle wine cellar with tasting room, a recreation room with fireplace, media area, game space, and an exercise room that can double as a guest or au pair suite with a full bath and private entrance—ideal for multigenerational living. Outdoor spaces are equally impressive: two brick patios for dining and lounging, one with a built-in grill and sink; a stone fireplace with covered seating; mature plantings, lush gardens, and stonework that create a tranquil setting for year-round enjoyment. With five fireplaces, cherry hardwood floors, extensive millwork, and recent mechanical updates including HVAC and security systems, this home is both luxurious and functional. Located just over a mile from the Philadelphia Country Club and within easy reach of Center City, King of Prussia, and Main Line shopping and dining, this is a rare opportunity to own a true estate property in one of the region’s most sought-after communities.
